Surfsider Resort - A Timeshare Resort

Lisa R 3 months ago

Surfsider is located behind Surf Rider. Staff is friendly and are helpful. Rooms are a little dated and slightly run down, but clean. You have to access the pool through a neighboring resort which is a little inconvenient, but doable. There is an accessible tennis/pickleball court between the 2 resorts. The beach is easily accessible across the street via private access and there's a pretty view of the canal behind the resort and slight ocean view across the road. There are things within a 1-2 mile walk, but in the heat, driving is just as quick/easy. You can also use circuit, the public transportation hold carts that can hold up to 6 people. They recently started charging in Lauderdale by the Sea (LBTS) but it's only about $2/person. There's shopping and restaurants a little bit of everywhere so plenty of choices for all. Billy Jack's in LBTS was pretty reasonably priced on Mondays with half priced sliders. Slone's ice cream had a great variety. Overall, we would stay here again if we stay in this area.

Centrally, located on Ocean Drive, with beach access, pool, tennis and pickle ball court.. The facility is clean, well kept. Special shout out to Sam, Sarah, and Cinnamon for making our vacation restful. Thank you.

Stayed on the 5th floor for a week. The location is very good for not being right on the beach. It's on a canal that leads to the intercostal. There are only 20 units. There's parking. The amenities on sight are a tennis court and a pool table. They let guests use the neighboring pool, which is very nice, but you have to go in through their front lobby and sign in. It's a hassle and longer walk. The lobby of the resort is very small and dated. The staff was nice. Our unit was large with 2 BD, 2B, kitchen, W/D, dining, living, and balcony. The bedrooms are a good size. The second one (kids' room) doesn't have a TV, which was an issue. The master has a large flat screen and comcast, a decent closet, dresser, nightstands, and a private bath. The bed was decent. The living room has a large flat screen as well. Both baths were clean and sufficient. They could use additional towel racks or hooks. The water pressure is great, the faucet needed to be unclogged so it didn't mis-spray. The furniture overall was dated and should be updated. The kitchen has a newer oven/ microwave and fridge but an older dishwasher. The cabinets were a mess, wouldn't close or open properl

The units provide ample space, but the furnishings are old and worn. We were quoted one rate when we called, but charged a higher one when we arrived after hours. The bait and switch problem was obvious since we made the reservation by phone only one day prior to our arrival. We checked out rather than pay an extra $35/night. Not recommended.
